Svetlana Rusu, the MP who has recently defected from the PCRM and joined the United Moldova Party, said she will not renounce her legislative seat as the leader of the Communist parliamentary group Maria Postoiko demanded. “I do not agree with the aggressive statements made by the PCRM. Only in this party, one can be labeled “mud”, “ooze” or “rat” when they leave it. I chose the United Moldova Party because it is a strong party, even if it is new. I made a conscious decision, without being pressed,” Svetlana Rusu said.
